Drawn Together Book Review

• 2nd Oct 2012

Authors: Aline and Robert R. Crumb

Crude, crass and boisterous, Drawn Together charts the (mostly amorous) activities of Aline and Robert R Crumb.

Aline’s drawings are a great example of passion over talent. Their different styles complement each other and fans of their work will not be disappointed with this compendium of black and white and colour graphic novels.

As someone who knew nothing about them, I wasn’t overly engrossed in the subject matter and found the whole thing a bit bizarre. But Robert Crumb was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, so what do I know.

If crude (style and subject matter) adult comics are your thing, then look no further than here. As a piece of subversive American comic book history, it’s surely a must for your shelves.
